NEW DELHI: Indian badminton ace PV Sindhu faced her long-time rival, Carolina Marin of Spain, in a highly charged and ill-tempered semifinal at the Denmark Open Super 750 tournament. The fierce battle saw both players receive yellow cards for their verbal exchanges during the match.
Sindhu, who has been grappling with a challenging season, struggled against the relentless Marin, eventually succumbing to a scoreline of 18-21, 21-19, 7-21 in a match that spanned one hour and 13 minutes. This marked Sindhu's fifth consecutive loss to Marin, who had previously defeated her in the 2016 Rio Olympics final and the 2018 World Championships summit clash.
